The Premier League may seem like a foreign country to Cambridge United at this minute in time.

Thoughts of playing the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham or Manchester City in anything other than a cup tie or friendly are a mere pipe dream.

But that has not stopped the bookies putting admittedly long odds odds on United being the 50th team to play in the Premier League since its formation in 1992.

Huddersfield became the 49th different club to ensure they will play top-flight football in the modern era thanks to their 4-3 win on penalties following a goalless draw after extra time against Reading in the Sky Bet Championship play-off final at Wembley on Monday.

And Paddy Power have offered odds on who will be the next club to follow the Terriers into the Premier League.

United came close to being involved in the inaugural Premier League campaign after reaching the Division Two (now Championship) play-offs in 1992 only to lose 6-1 on aggregate to Leicester in the semi-finals.

But now in League Two, the top flight appears a long way off.

Hence, why United are among a group of five teams given odds of 90-1 to become the next new club to make it to the ‘promised land’, the others being League One side Gillingham and League Two outfits Chesterfield, Colchester and Exeter.

Brentford have been installed as 8-13 favourites to be the 50th club to make the grade after finishing 10th and ninth the last two seasons and making the play-offs in 2015.
